Want to know what Rich Dworsky has been doing lately?
Check out two new original songs that will take your breath away.
I just released this new track, “The Saddest Noise, The Sweetest Noise.” I was inspired by Emily Dickinson’s beautiful and heartbreaking poem about how our grief can be triggered by even the sweet and innocent chirping sound of the birds. My huge thanks to the wonderful Gaby Moreno for her lovely vocals. And great thanks to Madeleine Hart for the beautiful video. Sending my love and prayers to all who are suffering loss. Rich D.
PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS (Released June 2024)
Lord make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, joy. O divine master grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love For it is in giving that we receive- it is in pardoning that we are pardoned. And it’s in dying that we are born to eternal life.
When I'm feeling down and worthless, an Emily Dickinson poem always perks me right up!
It is definitely the bomb of the highest order..... er, balm.
